Disable CSF auto blocking

Hello

We have a problem with dumb users from a web agency and they always block their ips with wrong usernames or with conection limit. I tried many ways increasing limits but no luck with those guys...

I was wondering a way to disable CSF auto blocking and just use csf as primary iptables ruler, to just block ports and allow some ips for full access to the server. In other words, I dont want to completelly remove csf and create my own firewall rules on iptables I just want to disable this automatic ip blocking.

How can I do it?

Thank you guys.
Have a Nice day

You should either teach those people how to properly log in, or accept / ignore their network's IP address.
CSF Firewall does what it's supposed to - to protect your server. Without the autoblocking your server's protection will be very limited.
